About the 2018 Civic Type R

Drivers across Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky are finding the race-inspired 2018 Honda Civic Type R to be all Honda promised, and more. One glance at the Type R and you know this hot hatch means business.

The aerodynamic body is more than just stylish and fun—it’s fully functional in boosting the car’s performance. A front air splitter, vented side skirts, Vortex generators, rear wing, and diffuser create superior control on the road. The 2.0L turbocharged engine throws 306 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque at a 6-speed transmission. These, coupled with the Adaptive Damper System, provide the Civic Type R with unbridled power and precise control, while red Brembo front brake calipers are tucked behind 20-inch alloy wheels that help harness such speed.
